About the musicians:
Willie McLellan has performed as a violist in Chicago for the last decade. He is an experienced orchestral musician, having played with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Elgin Symphony Orchestra, and Camerata Chicago. Willie also greatly enjoys playing chamber music. He was a member of Chicago Symphony’s MusiCorps outreach program that educated and performed for audiences in schools and park spaces. In 2019 he co-founded the Kolmar Music Collective, a mixed ensemble that performs works of diverse and underrepresented composers. In the summer of 2021 he was a featured performer in a string quartet at the American Suzuki Institute in Stevens Point.
Willie has a performance degree from UW-Madison in violin. He studied viola performance at DePaul University and Northern Illinois University, where he was a teaching assistant to Tony Devroye. He currently maintains his own private studio of violinists and violists at Musette Strings, a music school he co-founded in 2023.
When he is not busy on the music scene Willie enjoys experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, finding interesting hiking spots, and improving his swimming at park district pools.
